The common German tank engine used carburetors. Many of them. It was one of the reasons they used so much fuel and yet another reason the Panther caught on fire so often.

too short, i wanted them to talk about cooling, lubrication dry/wet sump, particularities of each engine type (i.e.: unreliable german HL295 crap because cylinders where so squeezed together than blowing the liner was easy), a lot of detail on air filtering(from cardboard/felt filters to the revolution of the cyclone/multicyclone/oiled cyclone).

this was… shit at best

Well yeah…diesel engines are just as prone to fire as gasoline engines. Trouble is once that initial burst of high pressure high temperature goes away, a diesel engine will cease to burn as diesel doesn’t really burn in normal atmospheric temperature and pressure(especially when not vaporized and in liquid form), even if you put an open flame on it.

Gasoline however….

well, that was not true injection, it was more like limiting constant flow when neccessary

That’s why they not mentioned them ;) , they had been dropped long before. And that’s why carburator is always connected with gasoline engine. Still, even there it’s going obsolete, apart from lawnmowers…

Why they didn’t say that turbine engine is shitty on low speed gears ? The power output an overall performance drops greatly when a tank needs to manover in woods or needs to get out of mud.

First one was good but this one seems biased towards russians and their brilliant idea of mountiing turbine engines. Even S-tank had a diesel engine to support turbine in low-speed manovering and start-up.

I’m not sure if it’s because of this ukraine stuff but Russians seems to be more and more biased than ever before…. and WG’s “patriotic marketing” seems to reflect this.

The 1957 Chevrolet Corvette called. He wants his fuel injection back.
